OF POLICE HEADS
Boliovos Cleaning Up of All
Wards Will Break Power
of Job Combine
-'LAW MUST BE SUPERIOR
TO LAWLESS," HE ASSERTS
By a Staff CorrmpoutUnt
Allcntown, Pa., Dec .".0. A city
i!de shifting of police llciitcnnntfl Is
Impending in Philadelphia. This in
formation was disclosed by Mnyor
Moore in talks today with friends just
before leaving for Philadelphia.
Tlio Mnyor let it be known that the
placing of Llentennnt Marple In charge
of the Rtatlon house In the Fifteenth
ward. Judge Rrown's home ward, was
only u prelude to similar chnnges nil
over the city.
Mr. Moore came here to address the
Kiwanis Club IaH night. In bis ad
dress ho Indicated Ills readiness to de
clare war on Senator Penrose when he
toitl ho would not bare Philadelphia
ontrollcd by "outside legislative In
fluence." So far as the police are concerned,
the Mayor will not stand for the old
system by which politicians, Ramblers
and crooks were able to approach police
officials or plain "cops" and "slip"
tbem something in exchange for an of
ficial blindness on the part of the police.
"The law must be superior to the
lawless," said the Mayor.
Expect Many Deserters
More than that, the Mayor believes
that this drlvo against crooks, gam
blers, dope flcndR nnd dope purveyors
and their alliance with police will do
more than anything else to break up
tbc new job combine In Philadelphia.
The Mayor does not think that the
combine, which Is in sympathy with
so-called "old times" and the "wide
open city," can long stand out against
a determined smash at the ring of vice
and politics. The Mayor expects that
a u result more and more ward lender,
ho now arc aligned with the new lob
combine, will quickly desert the shaking
combine and plead to bo taken into the
'dminlstratlon's favor.
The Mayor will accept such political
support only so long as nothing in the
shape of favors for the viee nnd politi
cal ring Is sought. Those who "come
Into the administration circle" must do
so with the understanding that they
will support the plans of the Mnyor
and of his independent allies in the
straightforward movement 'for a clean
city and or a clean clt.V government.
The drive has been begun In the Fif
teenth ward, where it is said in police
circlet, that friends of Judge Drown
were able to cause the police in the
district to "wink their eyes" at nil sort
of vice and crime. The Fifteenth ward,
once the abiding place of well-kuown
citizens, a residential ward, has become,
according to Information placed in the
nanus of the .Mnyor, a sort of a veiled
tenderloin and not much "veiling at
that."
liven Vnrc men In the wurd, who long
have opposed Judge Urown's control,
hae expressed their pleasure ut the turu
of events cvon though the judge nnd his
friends are credited with being the head
and front of the Vare-Rrowu-f'unnlng-liaiu
combination. They feel that way.
they explained to administration lend
ers, simply because of their buttle for
ard control.
In the shifting of police lieutenants
it Is expected that the Tenth ward,
the home ward of Thomas W. ('turning
Iiam, will be a spccinl object of attack
deiplto Cunningham's dec'nrntlon thnt
he has not been in a station for ten or
fifteen years. Then will come the
Twenty-fifth ward where Magistrate
"Hilly" Campbell has "beat the others
to It" and deserted the combine "and
Mnd with the administration. "Jim"
I'arey's Fifth ward will again receive
attention.
The Mayor will not permit his home
an to get nnywherc near deserving of
the description "the blood v Fifth."
lcn "Huek" Devlin, in the Kighth
ward, Senator Penrose's home ward,
will have to watch his P's and Q's.
ttx-Ar Noll In the Thirty-seventh, who
Is ii close- friend of (leorge W. Coles,
Jill probably hnve the pleasure of see
ing nnother lleutennnt In the district
In which he holds forth.
Itnhert Grier, Penrose lender of the
Eighteenth ward, unother who support
'd the Mayor for the mayoralty, and
Jim now consorts with the new com
bine, will receive consideration in the
K'ne connection. Rlnkelv 1). Mc
JSvhn, of the Twenty -fourth ward, In

good graces of the administration as
once he wns.
To Keep Close Watch
1'iirthcrmore, the police in the dis
'ncts which Richard Wcgleiu and
JetT E. Smith, Twenty-ninth una
rorty-seventh wurds, are the political
Powers will bo closely watched. And,
of course, tho Thirty-eighth ward,
where Purchasing Agent Acker and
otincllinon Cans ure the lenders, will
twelve nioro than passing consideru
' ion in the matter of iliee control.
The drlvo against Acker and (inns
dl be nun of the features of the ud
diilstratlnn policy in the Thirty
'n;hth. The Mayor is determined thnt
'ins shall not "get uwuy with" with
professions of loynlty to the udininls
'ration at the same time that he Is
Joting huge sums to the Municipal
urt over tho vigorous protests of the
Major. While this shifting of lieuteu

west Chester resident
Elliott Penrose Jones. Cornell grad

The mother Is in the house with her
son. Oyer the tclephoim today she said
she believed he was unbalanced, and
wished to hnve him sent to n sami

she swore out a warrant for his arrest
before Justice of the Peace S. M. Pox

lery.
According to Chief Entrikln, .Tone"' '

Who had these mimeographed, copies
of the original letter made.? Who cir

This is what Mayor Moore wishes to
learn, nnd is" the object of nn ihveitign
tlon he is hnvlng made. It is a mys
tery he intends to solve.
It was learned today that the orlglnnl
of the mimeographed copies was writ
ten by Morris Hocklus, of the law firm
of Morgan, Lewis & Rockius.
C. P. Linenw caver, vice president of
the Commercial Trust Co., one of the
three concerns which withdrew their
bids for the loan, readily identified the
mimeographed cony as a copy of the
Morgan, Lewis & Rockius letter.
"Yes, I saw thnt letter of .Mr.

The Anonymous Letter
Here is the anonymous mimeographed
copy of the letter:
Dear Sir You have submitted to
us a copy of the ordinance of the
Select and Common Council of the
city of Phlludelphin, approved the
finth day of December, lftll), as
amended by an ordinance approved
the 18th day of November, 1020, nnd
have asked us to advise you as to
the effect of Section 4 of the ordi
nance, which contains the sinking
fund provisions for the repayment of
the loan.
Tills section of the ordinance pro
vides for the payment annually out
of the proceeds of the loan during the
period of construction of the work
for which the loan is created and
for one year nfter thV completion of
said work of construction, of the
sums required to pay the install
ments due the sinking fund, nnd for
the discharge within fifty yeurs of
the principal of the loan, together
with a sum sufficient to pay the in
terest on the lonn. It further pro
vides that after the lapse of one year
from completion of the work of
construction, nn annual tax of OVi
per cent on the pnr value of the loan,
shall be levied to pay the interest and
the principal of the loan within fifty
years from the date of issue. You
will note that until ouo year nfter
completion of the work the Interest
on the loan nnd the sinking fund for
payment of principal are both taken
out of tho proceeds of the loan Itself,
and that there is no provision for
the creation of a sinking fund by
taxation until one year after the con
struction work is completed.
Question Time nf Completion
Tlie time of completion is entirely
indefinite. It Is conceivable that the
construction work might he post
poned for yenrs. or never completed,
in which case the provisions for the
creation of a sinking fund out of
taxation might be correspondingly
postponed or never go into effect.
This section of the ordinance is
under a constitutional amendment
applying to the city of Philadelphia,
ndonted at the genernl election of last i
November, which radically changes
the previous constitutional provision
in forcu with regard to the sinking
funds of the city of Philadelphia
loans. This required u tax to be
levied at the time of the creation
